RAAF Base Richmond PFAS Investigation

Summary of the Investigation

In November 2018, Defence completed a detailed environmental investigation into the presence of per- and poly-fluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) on and in the vicinity of RAAF Base Richmond.

All findings of the investigation are available on the publications page, including detailed reports and factsheets.
